Bernice will always be remembered for her warmth, generosity, her commitment to family and to her faith. She was so kind, giving and gentle. We will miss her so much. Our thoughts are with you... Diane, Karen, David and everyone in the family.
Now the laborer’s task is o’er;
Now the battle day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last.
Father, in thy gracious keeping,
Leave we now thy servant sleeping.
“Earth to earth and dust to dust,”
Calmly now the words we say,
Left behind, we wait in trust
For the resurrection day.
Father, in thy gracious keeping,
Leave we now thy servant sleeping.
-John Ellerton
With much love from her sister Sarah, nieces Jocelyn, Barbara and nephew Brian.
